Mouse brain simulated on computer

All right; who ELSE saw that headline and immediately thought of Howard Dean?

Only half? They should have started with something simpler, like Rosie O’Donnell’s brain.

Considering how big they are, cockroaches can't have very big brains. And yet, some of the things cockroaches do (like playing dead) are downright clever.

Computers as clever as cockroaches would be scary.

But is it legal to turn it off? Or ethical?

Cool - so computer scientists have already achieved AI greater than the liberal mind! Awesome!

There are groups trying to simulate brain function, and there are other groups trying to use biological tissues themselves to perform fast calculations (biocomputation, including DNA computing and neurocomputers aka "wetware").

On a much smaller scale, another "complementary pairing" is the use of computation to simulate atomic, molecular, surface, and bulk physics and chemistry (quantum Monte Carlo, density functional theory); the flip side, if you will, is the use of atomic/molecular systems themselves to perform calculations (quantum computation).

Their simulated half-mouse brain is no match for the mousetrap simulation I have ready to unleash on it. It is a FULL mousetrap. Heh, heh! I cheat.
